BenRG:
IRL, there is already a market in sperm from 'ideal' men with characteristics women uninterested in a relationship with a man might want their child to inherit. Why not a market in ova too? Beatrice is intelligent, aggressive, apparently healthy and not unattractive. I could see some men who want a child without having any kind of relationship with a woman might find such characteristics desirable for their child.
Whilst Beatrice would be unlikely to need the money, the thought of donating her genetic material as part of a sort of free-market eugenics program might be attractive to her on grounds of vanity and maybe even ideology.
Zebediah:
Although from what I've been told, the process of harvesting a woman's eggs is a lot more unpleasant than the process of harvesting sperm. It's not an "Oh what the hell, why not?" thing. It's a serious inconvenience for the woman involved. And therefore not something I see Beatrice subjecting herself to.

Perhaps because surrogacy is a lot harder to come by for men, than simple insemination is for women? Not to mention the legal nightmare it still is in a lot of places.
Edit: my bolding in quote.
JoeCovenant:
Unfortunately, I'm waiting for Taffy to come in and be the saviour of all mankind by overhearing the conversation and "Ahems" in to inform Beatrice that Mr Taffy (if I read the surname I forgot it) was actively asking for Taffy for insider information.
And drama unfolds, and Taffy becomes Beatrice's bestest friend in the room (for an hour or so) due to some clause or other in the machinations of their *deal*.
Maybe...
And thus Taffy's place is sealed... Just hopefully NOT as a PA for Hanners...
'Cos I don't wanna associate Hanners with them.
'Cos I *LIKE* Hanners... :(
Gyrre:
Okay..... Are their any distinguishing genetic traits that Tilly and Beatrice share?
Cleft chin, cheek dimples, attached/detached earlobes, etc?
